Tag Archives: new designs

In which I swear to do real blogging soon. It’s summer and I have things to talk about. This one, however, is a quickie. I finally listed some new designs at Leaves of Glass today – lots of light & dark contrast, with my trademark grit & sparkle. Here’s a peek, and you can see all the new pieces in the shop:

In order to offer some lower price points, I’ve started using gunmetal components in several of my designs at urban legend. I’m really excited about this, as it allows me to offer lots of new durable, high-quality bracelet and necklace designs at about half the price I’ve had to charge in the past. For my customers with sensitive ears – don’t worry! All of my earrings hooks are still sterling silver. I know several of you rely on me to provide high-quality irritation-free hooks, and that won’t change. But you’ll start to see several necklaces and bracelets made with gunmetal wire and chain in my shop. If you prefer sterling silver in any design, please contact me – most designs can be reproduced in sterling for an additional price. This change only affects my jewelry in the urban legend shop; my designs at Leaves of Glass will continue to be made and listed with sterling silver.Here’s a sampling of what’s already available in the new gunmetal line at urban legend; look for lots of new pieces to start listing in the next two weeks. I encourage your input on this change; please feel free to contact me with any comments, questions or concerns!

I believe that jewelry tells a story. It can be a secret story, a reminder to yourself; it can be a story you tell to the world around you; it can be a costume or a talisman or a suit of armor. I love stories, and I love the challenge of translating an image or a narrative into a beautiful, wearable medium. I design and make jewelry using vintage and antique glass, hardware, metal and sterling silver. You can read my story here, and you can buy my work at the Leaves of Glass and urban legend links above.

Thank you, happy customers!

I love the colors in this necklace. Beautiful. The chain is also very dainty and elegant. Perfect for you or perfect for a gift! Vendor does such a wonderful job in putting colors together. Both for beauty and for whimsy.
